Letter to the editor: Rich Gatanis is a positive force in the community

We would like you to join us in voting for Rich Gatanis for Carneys Point Township Committee this Nov. 6.

Though we have only known him for a short period of time, we have found Rich to be a very honest, and hard-working person who always has the residents in mind. He is also a devoted family man, dedicated to his church and operated a successful business, for over 20 years, in Salem City.

People we know and respect have told us about Rich’s commitment to coaching football and baseball for over 30 years. He has been a supporter of the YMCA and local library. Rich has been a mentor and friend of ours from the very beginning. During his previous years on the committee there was only one increase in taxes, and those taxes went toward farmland/open space preservation and our paid ambulance service.

The voters of Carneys Point have an opportunity to elect a good man who wants to serve his community. Your vote for Rich Gatanis may well be the very best decision you’ve ever made in a local election.
